Portugal’s River of Gold
This 10-day cruisetour from Lisbon to Porto sails the breathtaking Douro River, one of Europe’s most scenic and a longtime producer of the country’s prized port wine, to experience the best of Portugal.
Helgrim - Viking emissary to the king of Wessex
When tensions were high between King Harald I of Norway and King Athelstan of Wessex, the great Norse sailors Helgrim and Osfrid delivered on behalf of Harald the gift of a ship to Athelstan. The vessel is said to have had purple sails and gilded shields along the gunwale. The gesture is seen as the start of a long and productive relationship between the two nations.
